Additional Tuning for Patch 7.2.5 Release

Additional Tuning for Patch 7.2.5 Release

As Patch 7.2.5 approaches release, we wanted to let you know that there are a number of tuning hotfixes in the works which we plan to apply either with or shortly after Patch 7.2.5 in each region. Many of these changes will be focused on PvP (and we shared the majority of them on Friday), but there will also be adjustments to a few Nighthold raid mechanics, and an initial set of buffs to a few underperforming specs.

Note: We’re planning another round of class tuning for later in the week once we have more data from live realms; these are merely a first pass. Additionally, we plan to partially reduce the 7.2.5 nerf to Draught of Souls for Fury Warriors.

The thinking above is still true, and something we want to keep an eye on, but the changes already in place mean the numbers are quite different from the 7.0 version. In 7.0, if you had e.g. a 10% chance to proc from Stormstrike (main hand only), and 0% from Lava Lash and Boulderfist (and the procs were worth double due to Tempest), there was a huge swing in proc chance between using 3 Stormstrikes and using 3 other buttons. In 7.2.5, you may have 8% from the Lava Lash and Rockbiter, and 16% from the Stormstrike, and the a proc causes you to replace 2 other buttons with 2 Stormstrikes. The swing is much smaller now.

Because the 7.2.5 changes would already reduce the streakiness of Stormbringer procs (and because allowing offhands to proc is slightly more consistent with the tooltips), we'll let that play out on live and inform whether we need to make future changes to mitigate that streakiness further.

Oh poor you, having to deal with nerfs and so on that all other classes have had to deal with over the years.. I always find it funny when everyone goes to the OP FOTM class of an expac then cry like two year olds when the class receives a nerf..

It is good to see that they are finally acknowledging the other under performing classes..

It's also fun seeing people act like you do acting like the DH community is crying because of a nerf, when, if you actually knew anything, you'd realize DHs didn't actually receive a nerf. The issue is Havoc was promised major changes at the beginning of the patch cycle, we got a change that was a huge quality of life improvement, didn't really buff or nerf DPS, just removed a layer of RNG. Then, less than one week before the patch is set to go live, they revert it. They never once communicated anything in regards to plans for DH through the whole patch cycle that, again, was promised to have "Major Changes" and all that happened was 2 minor changes to 2 talents and a legendary nerf.

All the DH community is asking at this point is some god damned communication. Anything at all.

No they just pander to the ones the devs play and stuff over every one elses, because been good devs is too hard right... Don't cry when ur server is dead.

Demon Hunters have been consistently near the top, and both Shaman specs are at the bottom. God forbid they buffed one of the worst classes while giving a nerf to a class that will STILL be in the top 5 after the nerfs. Jesus you people are sad.

The one that mad eme laugh is DoS for warriors. That was overpowered and should have been nerfed from day one, but they let it sit and stew and players got used to having it. The power level difference between warriors and other melee is absurd.

I'll cry you a river so big you'll drawn in it. Get your head out of your own ass please and know what you're talking about before coming across like an ass. We're not asking for a buff. Hell, the change would be result in a very small nerf but would make the rotation that much more tolerable as the fury generation would become smoother.
Demon hunters already have 4 layers of RNG to their rotation, asking for a bit more stable rotation shouldn't kill anyone. If you're so offended that we want some QoL changes then I'm oh so terribly sorry that I offended you.

It's not about dps. It's about QoL changes. The DB change they had originally made resulted in slighty less fury. What it did however was remove some of the RNG from the rotation. Sometimes we'd have a lot of fury from lucky streaks and other times we'd be standing there auto attacking for 5, 10 or 15 seconds with barely any fury.

I'd gladly give a bit of dps for a smoother rotation. I don't really care about the other changes we got. Prepared is STILL behind demon blades.

I'm talking fury for demon hunters. Not warriors. So i see no mention of what you're talking about.

If Demon hunters still are on the top of the dps charts in 7.2.5 i hope some will look back on their excessive complaining with embarrassment. It is a disgrace to complain about a top class when so many specs are on the bottom end of the charts.
